eporter VOL. 5 NO. l? ? JANUARY 12 TIIRU JANUARY l?. 1971 2,, t>nts per topy THIS IS BIG BROTHER WEEK EDITORIAL Model Cities residents should be carrying on business as usual, instead of thinking that all programs will end June 30. 1974. Thinking in disgust of how much time it took to get where Model Cities is today is wrong. In some instances there is nothing to see because the program was not entirely one of construction. Remember when the meetings were attended by overflowing crowds, meeting lasting beyond midnight, everybody wanted to be heard. Everybody wanted to rap about everybody else and how bad the situation was then. It was an argument over who got paid and not for what he got paid. But finally, the priorities for the neighborhood came out of all of this beginning confusion. This was not a single problem for Model Cities but the same for all organizations receiving Federal funds had to go through the same process. In the end, the result was that millions of tax dollars have been spent to get the people used to the idea of working and pulling together for their common welfare. Too many Americans, are submitting to the. "centralized-control-of-an-overpopulated-plante" syndrome. Many businessmen, government officials, research agencies and others assume that, with growing numbers of people in the U.S., such things as individualism, private property ownership, free markets, competitive enterprise and a good share of the rest of the traits and institutions that built the United States are now out-ofdate. The claim is that they must be replaced by scientific national planning and that government must take an over-greater hand in managing the life and business affairs of the individual citizen. It is time to remember that state combined with centralized planning, ownership of property and industry, have made more people miserable and wrecked more nations than any other two things you can think of. People with that individualism, self-reliance and a sense of personal freedom are not out-of-date. The people are the motivating force behind any government or society. If the individual has no concern lor election of officials, how the tax dollar is spent, how children are educated, how criminals are handled, who is not working and seeing that the necessary preparations for life tomorrow is made, then he is not fit for the freedom that he enjoys because the life he lives is dependent upon the life others live. If one person is without, then it becomes the concern of all. Nobody is free unless we all are free. Model Cities will have a long life, be funded year after year, so long as the people work together. If the-officers are not performing their responsibility, then it becomes the duty of the residents to sponsor and elect new officers. If there is no confidence in the leadership, sign the petition for recall. As a free man, your obligation is to be concerned by doing something about the problem.
